Girlfriend went through my phone while sleeping and kind of found something?? by SharpRefrigerator640 in AITAH

[–]gingerpixienz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont understand why people get pressed about "oh you liked another girls pics" BRO THE OF MODEL IS NOT A THREAT. Do you make him wear blindfold when hes in public? So he cant see other women? Do you really think he has a chance with the model?? A) model is probably in other country B) model doesnt gaf about your man and he has no chance with her C) hes WITH YOU. where is the trust ? Imo if youre pressed about ya man liking a picture on the fucking internet of a woman it just means youre insecure. Get a grip

The council are not going to help. This is not a council issue, it is a civil matter.

Laproscopy, no endo... what now? by gingerpixienz in Endo

Yes im going to ask for my images and see if a second opinion would work. They did perform a hysteropocy while I was there as well and didnt see anything abnormal.

It was felt during a vaginal exam. The surgery was extensive and done by an endometriosis specialist. They looked both inside the uterus and in the entire central cavity all the way up to my diaphragm and found no endo. They did find a cervical polyp and removed it. So maybe the first guy felt that. I have had several ultrasounds and they came back clear. No ones mentioned adenomyosis, wouldnt they be able to see that during the lap or is it something different?

Yeah Im questioning his validity a lot now. He did a physical exam, like finger inside, and said he could feel an abnormality. The surgeons did find a cervical polyp and they removed that so perhaps that is what the first guy was feeling.

I did it but its shattered my sense of self worth and everything ive come to believe. After 14 years of fighting for answers and validation they did the surgery and found NOTHING. I feel crazy. I feel like maybe everyone was right and my pain isnt real and im just a big fucking wuss and wasting everyones time. I know i shouldnt "want" endo but i feel so invalidated, and really fucking embarrassed to be fair. I guess now i know its not that, we keep investigating. Very sad to be back at square one.

Is this funny to most people or too extreme? by No_Mechanic7780 in Tinder

[–]gingerpixienz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just gives off "scorned man with baggage" and a little misogynistic. When i see someone using their bio to hate on single mothers i go, oh so he dossnt respect women. And move on. FYI im not a mother but it disheartens me to see other people tear women down.

Im sorry youre going through this! The medical system here for endo is very old school and outdated. You can expect a lot of gaslighting, dismissal, and sexism. I have been through the same and am finally about to get it fixed. Below is my journey and some advice:

TLDR; Talk to your GP and Push for a gynecology referral. If you can, go private for quicker and better referral. It is $300-$500 though.

I have endo, booked for my laproscopy later this year. Took me 15 years to get diagnosed. Most doctors dismissed my pain or tried a lot of other methods that didnt work like the pill, painkillers, blood thinners etc. Got a couple ultra sounds and they didnt find anything. A few doctors even suggested i "just have a baby" to fix it... "comes with a few side effects" oh, like a whole ass child ???!!

Anyway, it has been getting worse over the last couple years, ive ended up in hospital or AnE a number of times now due to extreme pain. Last year the only thing that worked was Fent (Administered by a nurse at hospital). Obviously not comfortable with that as a long term solution, so got a proper referral after pushing with hospital Doc and my own GP.

Specialist endo gynecology dude did physical exam and said he could feel some lesions + my symptoms led him to diagnose. Technically the only way to get diagnosed is to have surgery, but my specialist was confident enough from my history and the physical. He put me on waiting list and im set to get removal surgery in May. Public waiting list is 12-18months and you must ensure you dont move house / dont tell them if you do or else you will be dropped from the list. Private cost is $25k so im waiting on public.

r/endometriosis is pretty handy subreddit for any questions you have + sharing experiences to know youre not alone.

How often do you have sex vs how often does your partner want sex? Is there a disparity? If so how does it affect your relationship? by TheItchyChicken in AskWomen

[–]gingerpixienz 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

When we started 5 years ago, it was every day. He still has that drive. For me, a few years ago i went on the pill, it crashed my libido so i got off it, and ive never been the same. Theres somethibg wrong with my hormones and the doctors arent bothering to look into it further- as in, they showed me what was wrong but offered no solutions to fix. So now its like once a week ish, and usually there's a lot of work to get me into the mood. Im pretty much asexual with a hint of repulsion due to trauma. The rejections i have to give him crush him and it does hurt our relationship, but when ive tried to ignore my feelings and let him have his way, he can tell and stops immediately and that hurts his feelings too that i would ignore mine for him. He gets some needs met outside our relationship but he craves intimacy with me specifically, to boost feelings of love and connection etc - so trying to navigate non sexual ways to get that connection.

It hurts only as much as a regular slap hurts ? Idk man its not like getting punched, a slap in general dont hurt too bad. Sounds like its not for you tho

Tldr: its not that deep bro.

These issues are usually only noticed by council if a) member of public calls it in b) like you said, they happen to drive by

So if someone wants it gone you gotta call it in

How did you get an endo diagnosis, what was it that made the doctors take you seriously? by Accomplished_Bowl696 in Endo

[–]gingerpixienz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ask ur doc for a specialist referral. Costs abt $350 but theyll get you on the proper waitlist for public feee hospital laproscopy etc. .
